Chapter 2481

The factory manager pushed open the door with eyebrows raised, stood under the scorching sun, stood on the steps, and looked at the workers under the steps.

"If you have any questions, you can come to me in private, gather together, and let foreign guests see what they say!"

He reprimanded these people who couldn't tell the difference between the occasion and the seriousness, and even pointed to a middle-aged man standing in the front, "... (name of the middle-aged man) is it you who take the lead?"

The middle-aged man limped out and stood on the steps. He looked at the other workers around him and nodded, "It's me. I'm not satisfied with the arrangement in the factory, and neither of us are satisfied!"

The middle-aged man's knee was shattered by a shrapnel, and he also went to the battlefield. At the age of 36, he responded to the call of the royal family of the Penteio Empire, put down his work, picked up his weapon, and went to the battlefield.

He also participated in most of the battles in the Nagalil War of Invasion, and did not leave the battlefield until he was hit in the knee by a ricochet shrapnel during the home defense operations.

The doctor failed to save his knee, or in other words, under the circumstances on the battlefield at that time, the doctor would not save his knee.

Because the long operation is only to save one person's knee, it is better to save the lives of several people.

So he was treated briefly, the broken bones were removed, and he was sent out of the operating room.

After the operation, he could no longer stand and was sent back to the rear. On the eve of the end of the war, he returned to the washing machine factory and continued to serve the war effort - making parts for combat vehicles.

He is the same as the people around him. They all like the environment and the atmosphere here. They feel like everyone is a family.

But until this moment, all good things are broken.

The factory manager knew that if he didn't solve it at this time, the follow-up would be more troublesome. He stretched his brows a little, "What kind of talk is it like to be crowded here, so, you choose two representatives, and we go inside to talk."

Penteio has a long history of "representation". The Presbyterian Church is an important institution representing public opinion and can directly participate in political decision-making.

The middle-aged man nodded, then found two more people and entered the office building with the factory director.

Others, on the other hand, scatter into the surrounding shade and wait for the results.

In the reception room on the first floor, the factory manager sent some cold drinks over. He sat behind the table and looked at the three people on the sofa. "I know you are very dissatisfied with the decision to dismiss."

"But you should also think about our factory. Now that the federal people are willing to take over this factory, at least most of us can continue to live."

"I know that sacrificing the interests of a small number of people will definitely hurt your feelings, but it's not that you don't care about sympathy at all. Isn't there still severance pay?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man were clear and honest, but also contained anger, "Severance pay?"

"What can you do with a severance package of 240 yuan a year?"

"Don't you know how much the bread outside is per pound?"

"You are trying to force us all to death!"

A pound of bread costs about six dollars, and if you have anything like chopped nuts, it costs seven dollars.

However, most families still buy wheat flour to make their own bread.

A family needs about two pounds of bread a day, not including other basic survival expenses.

Middle-aged people, as well as those outside, are actually very clear.

Once they are dismissed, it will be difficult for them to find a good job. It will be very difficult for them to support themselves, not to mention their families.

Hearing what they said, the factory manager couldn't help smoking his cigarette.

After a while, he raised his head and asked, "These are all requested by the federal people. Do you think this is my decision?"

"I don't have that much dignity and I won't do that."

"But what can I do?"

"Or, the factory will close down and everyone will be dismissed together."

"Or, some people are dismissed, but most people can continue to work in the factory."

"How about I give you the position of factory manager, and I will be an ordinary worker, and then you choose?"

The words of the factory manager left the three representatives speechless.

Reality is always cruel and unreasonable, and we will not give them a chance just because they are pitiful or need to be pitied.

Reality will not be so romantic, not only will it not pity those who need it, but sometimes it will jump up and step on it.

Seeing these three people who had nothing to say, the factory manager's tone slowed down a bit, "The only thing I can do now is to find a way to apply for some convenience for you."

"For example, increase some severance expenses, or... select qualified workers from your family members to replace your jobs as appropriate."

In fact, the director of the factory had thought about this plan long ago, but he never said it out.

If the group of dismissed workers doesn't make trouble, he can't say it. Once the statement is rejected, it will be very difficult to achieve it in the future, and it will give these federal people the illusion that they are acting.

So he endured it all the time, and brought it up at the right time to really have an effect.

The middle-aged man was taken aback when he heard these words, but then his eyes showed hope. His son is 15 years old and can work instead of him.

With a job, at least the family will not starve to death!
With such an underpinning, his attitude suddenly softened.

"This might be a way..."

The factory manager took it again as he spoke, "But if you have someone to replace you, don't even want severance pay."

"And the length of service and so on, can only start from scratch."

In fact, whether it is the federation or Pengeo, there is a seniority wage in the wage standards, whether it is the capitalists or the ruling class.

They all have roughly the same means and methods in the matter of mastering the ruled subaltern.

If you want federal capitalists to agree to this, you will definitely need to make some choices.

At the same time, the factory manager has to show his own value. He doesn't really want to start over from the working class.

Seeing that the three of them seem to have compromised on this idea, the factory manager coughed lightly, "I just said, if there is anything, come and talk to me in private, don't make such a big fuss."

"In case you dissatisfy those people in the federation, think it's dangerous, or they run away for other reasons, who will privatize?"

"It's not just you who will be dismissed, everyone will lose their jobs because of your impulse!"

"You guys!"

The factory manager threw away the cigarette, got up and stamped it with his foot, as if stepping on the faces of several people, they were all red and hot with embarrassment.

"I'll go and stabilize those federal people first, and you go out to appease the others, and the rest will wait for my news."

"I've been in this factory for so many years, when have you ever seen me holding back my thoughts and thinking badly about you?"

After he finished speaking, he sighed, turned around and left.

After a while, he returned to the conference room, bent slightly, with a flattering smile on his face, "Mr. Lynch, Mr. Wardrick, the workers have some ideas..."

Lynch nodded, motioning for him to speak up.

"Workers are somewhat resistant to severance, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Wardrick, I'm telling the truth."

"Everyone has worked for the factory for so many years, and they all have deep feelings. They were indeed a little impatient when they heard the news, and they couldn't accept it."

"I discussed it with the workers' representatives just now and came up with a compromise. Why don't I give it to the two of you for reference?"

Lynch motioned him to continue, and he said, "That's right, I know there must be a lot of work to be done in the new factory, and there are plans to recruit people."

"I thought that these handicapped colleagues must not continue to serve the factory, after all, their physical conditions are here."

"Maybe considering some special circumstances, is it possible for their family members to come up?"

He tentatively asked cautiously, "For example, let their brothers or children take their place?"

"Those people must be young people with sound limbs and excellent working ability."

"At the same time, we can also save a lot of severance pay. I have also agreed with them on the salary. Previous seniority will not be counted..."

Lynch was a little surprised, he waved to the factory manager, and the factory manager came to him and bent over.

Lynch swept away the dust that didn't exist on his shoulders, and patted his upper arm, "You are a talent. After the new factory is established, you will continue to serve as the factory director."

"Mr. Wardrick and I don't have strict requirements. As long as we produce qualified products that meet our requirements, we won't interfere in the rest."

"I am very satisfied with your idea. Please comfort these people. As you said, after all, they have also devoted their youth and sweat to the factory."

"When conditions permit, it is also necessary to maintain the relationship between the factory and the workers."

Lynch said and looked at Mr. Wardrick, "What do you think?"

Mr. Wardrick is also very satisfied with this arrangement. He thought that the factory manager would be reckless, but he did not expect that this guy is also a shrewd character.

"Then arrange it like this, but it's best not to have similar things in the future."

"We have channels of communication because we respect each other."

"But if anyone thinks that this means there are ways to pressure us to compromise, then they are very wrong."

"This is the first and last time!"

Lynch added, "Those who replace them will deduct half of their salary for the first three months as punishment."

"In addition, make an announcement to clarify the reason for the punishment, and warn everyone, don't make the same mistake again..."

Soon news came out that the dismissal had turned into a replacement, and the world of those who were about to be dismissed seemed to be full of hope and color again.

The young man was a bit at a loss. Apart from him, there was only one younger sister who was suitable for working in his family.

Do you want your sister to come to work?
Although he is not as desperate as before, he is still extremely confused...
